Your Screen Froze Again - In the Middle of an Important Meeting

We've all experienced technical difficulties on a Zoom call, but what happens if your screen freezes or an embarrassing text pops up during an important presentation or meeting? Here's how to handle a technical breakdown at work gracefully: Take a deep breath. Your first instinct will likely be to panic, but remind yourself that you are not in danger, and there is a solution to most problems. Own it. Look into the camera and let your audience know that you're experiencing a tech issue that is out of your control. Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself. You can even make a quick joke to break the tension while you troubleshoot. Know when to cut your losses. If the problem can't be fixed, apologize and explain that you will contact everyone to reschedule.
